3.0 out of 5 stars Too ambitious; too generic, August 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Careers in Real Estate (Paperback)
Rowh sets out to provide "detailed descriptions of a range of interesting careers" and "expert advice on finding the best jobs in the field." Unfortunately for his readers, the task ultimately proves all too ambitious. While a great breadth of areas are presented (brokerage, appraising, development, planning, counseling, law, loan processing, building inspection, etc), most are given only the most superficial of treatments. If you're looking for an in-depth guide on careers in real estate, turn instead to the Urban Land Institute's "The Inside Track to Careers in Real Estate" by Stan Ross.
